designs beautifully worked with needles
by their own hands, and sent it to
Pulaski with their blessing. Pulaski
received it gratefully. aud bore
it gallantly until his death in

His banner was saved by his senior

ELlzABETHTowN, ILL.,, Nov 25.-The
Hardin County vendetta, which threat
ened to depopuldtt two counties, has
broken out again, and two more desperate
man hunters have been killed. The ceme'

killed, five Of whom have taken their de-

Bell, q desperate character, shot Gnn
killed Doc Oldham at a dance in the Old
ham homestead. Both men were among
the most prominent in the county, and
the excitement reached high pitch. The
community took sides, and when Wash
Covert, witness for the prosecution, was
laid low with'a cgarge Of buckshot, the,
trouble began. Luke Hornbripk who was
connected with the Oldham faction, was
assassinated OH the doorstep. Ed Bell was
| soon after shot from ambush and hil]ed.
| Logan Bell was sent to the penitentiary
| for the killing of Doc Oldham, and Bill

| During the trial, Ku-Klux organization
Of which Bell was Captain, and which con-
tanned some Of the best men in the
county, was exposed. This band was
called Sons of Liberty, and its os-
tensble object was to "reguate"
citizens. While Bell and Fraley were
in tho pcnitcntiary, a couple of men were
killed ON each side. After they were re-
leased, Bell was indicted for thc assassina-
ton Of Hornbriuk, and was tried last
spring and acquitted. Three weeks later
he was shot dead from ambush. Two
weeks after Captain Logaa Bciis death
his uroihcr, Jim Bell, was shot and killed
at the same spot, Cave,in Rock. These as
sassinations produced great consterna

PARIS, Nov. 2S-Pasteur proposes to free
New South Wales and New Zealand of the
rabbit plague in a very original manner.
1t is well known that these colonies are
overrun with these lively little ami
mails, who so nibble all the food
away as TO make sheep raising i'm
possible. Pasteur proposes TO inoculate
the New South Wales rabbits with the mi
crobes of chicken cholera, which, he saws,
will procreate even quicker than the rab-
bits procreate, and will finally exterminate
all the rabbits from the colonies. This
idea OF inoculating rabbits with this terri
bic disease, and causing the death of n
thousand millions of the little nibbing ami
mails, opens field for reflection to tho
anti-cruelty to animal societies,
